Welcome to K. Praslowicz, Photographer - a website that I've been maintaining since 2001 to share my photography, and thoughts about photography.
My name is Kip Praslowicz, a web developer by day, and a photographer by night (and anytime I can get away from work during the day). I currently am located in Duluth, MN.
I originally started dabbling with photography in the late 90's, and took it on as a full forced hobby in 2001. I created this site early in 2001 just as a place where I could store and share my images. As the years went by, and the expectations of what a web site should have changed, I now use this space as a blog to share my thoughts about photography, as well as provide bits & pieces of the technical things I figure out on my own.
I'm a very staunch supporter of film and film photography. The only digital camera that I own and use was a a freebie given to me by a friend after he upgraded to a new Pentax dSLR kit. I don't use it for any of my fine art stuff, but it does come in handy for creating illustrative images for my blog posts.
This looks like a fine website with fine photographs! One of my favorite past times is looking at things. I must say, your photographs are something my rolly eyes would roll in excitement for!
I just impressing with your work man. Thanks to share your master piece photography.
Thank you for putting so much effort up here. This is a great place to kill time at work.
Excellent site, full of very creative images.
I'll be back for more...
Hello !
Such a nice site ! I was looking for informations about press cameras and found it. Thank you for all !
Don't know which link led me to your site, but: It is a very nice one. Hard to imagine to walk through the night, carrying a medium format camera. And with that monster to shoot unknown people using a flashlight. I myself will never develop enough self-confidence and cockiness to do so. But maybe, after 12 years of practice? (English is not even my second language. Sorry, if some of my phrases sound a bit bizarre)
What I like most is your method of shooting wedding partys. When everybody is in the state of near-stupor. Without compromising people. Very interesting pictures.
@max I find that the larger, and more non-dSLR a camera looks, the easier it is to be self-confident in public.
Hi K. Praslowicz,
I really like your photos. I just looked through your 2009 year in review. Great! I love the slice of life you have of downtown and East Hillside area.
Having just discovered your site, Ive spent an enjoyable evening getting acquainted. I applaud your common sense preference for more artful, and certainly more interesting film cameras. I particularly enjoyed your blog post concerning a man contemplating the purchase of a Nikon. I had a similar conversation with my grandson when I showed him my Fujica G690BL.....he asked how many MBs it had. I showed him my light box next.
Dear K,
Thanks a lot for taking to time to share your view of the world with all of us. I've been photographing my little town for about 6 years now. There's times where I feel like I'm not doing anything special, but after reading your blogs and looking thru your catalogs I feel rejuvenated. We have very similar points of views and it was refreshing to see your enthusiasm for all things photographic. While I'm not a film person like your self, I thoroughly share your points of view. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to share of yourself. It made a difference!
